Another way in which you can experience a one way relationship is when either your crush has not reciprocated your love for too long.

Your partner is just taking you for granted and doesn’t worry about losing you.

This final category of quotes is all about how you might feel when you’ve reached your limit and just can’t take it anymore.

So in order to protect it and nurture it again, you may have to set some boundaries and in the worst case, decide that it’s time to move on.

I hope these quotes help you feel better afterwards!
